The Kentucky Physical Therapy Association (KPTA), in partnership with RehabCare®, has announced its 2014 KPTA All-Academic Team. Students enrolled in Doctor of Physical Therapy Programs (DPT) or Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Programs who are members of the Kentucky Physical Therapy Association are eligible for the award. Recipients are selected based upon academics, campus and community involvement and the potential for significant contributions to the physical therapy profession throughout their careers.

Three institutions placed more than one student on the 2013 All-Academic Team. The Somerset Community College PTA Program placed two members on the team; Bellarmine University and the University of Kentucky’s DPT Program each placed three on the team.

Members of the KPTA All-Academic Team will be recognized at the KPTA Student Conclave in Louisville, Kentucky and will receive cash scholarships from RehabCare®, a leading provider of rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational and speech therapies. 47 students have been recognized through the program since its inception in 2010.
